Actually two questions for the more learned:I have a Sony TAE2000ESD digital Pre-amp hooked to DISH 500 satellite, 4 S-VHS vcr's (and a Panasonic World-1 multisys converting VCR for my overseas friends), Adcom GFA 565, 555, 545 amps, Yamaha servo-subs, Pioneer DVD/LD/CD player, Advent Large 25th Anniv. X 5 (Re-makes of the H. Kloss classics), 2 DAT's, Sony Dolby S cassette and a 32" XBR Sony TV.
1) I want to replace the Sony pre-amp, and I'm thinking about the TAE9000. Has anyone had experience with it and where did you buy it ($?). Any other suggestions in it's price range. As a Physician and engineer, I actually like complex things, so simplicity is not a consideration.
2) I want to buy, in the next year or so, a front projector. I will buy a 'data grade' projector as they are HDTV capable. I am seriously looking at the Texas Instruments technology DLP projectors. Has anyone had any experience with them, which one and where did you buy it ($?)
Since you are into technical stuff, I think you would be interested in the technical discussions at two sites related to HDTV. There are so many pretenders at the moment that don't really have even the potential for full HDTV capability. Please look at: http://www.e-town.com/; and http://www.DTVWeb.org/default.cfm. Some things needed in a pre/receiver are the ability to switch component digital inputs; true 96/24 adc capability, as well as the translators for the various formats you list. Right now the only projectors that are fully capable cost over $10,000. I don't need to try to give all the details since they are at the sites I have referenced.
If I'm not mistaken, the Sony VPH VW10HT is fully HD compatible, and at a cost of about $5500, such as through medicalvideosystems.com Get more details at www.thebigpicturedvd.com/cgi-bin/vw10ht.cgi including the archived messages. The FAQ section is not up yet. It has native 16:9 panels, 1000ANSI lumens, accepts mutiple scan rates including various progressive rates. Spec sheet is located at www.medicalvideosystems.com/monitors/vplw10htspec.htmCheck it out!

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with lcd displays. I was talking about projection sets. The lcd may be a real winner for this application. I saw a string above that gets into controversy about the attributes of a Sony unit. Possibly you were involved on that string. I will look into the lcd for my own reference. It should, at least be compared with the low cost projectors before choosing one. I don't know how many nearby dealers have such a set to check out. What I meant was that most of the low cost projector sets are 4:3 only and have 7" CRTs which are incapable of 1080i resolution and only have one native resolution (1080i) which they translate by various schemes. Some have trouble with one or more input modes from high end dvd players. Some similar insufficiencies apply to various high end dvd players and receivers. It is really a tough job to get all the needed features and not pay for duplicate capabilities at various points along the chain. Thanks for your comments. I think they added a lot of food for the original poster to consider.
